    Hi
    I have IBM T40, but last time i have some problem with it and I wolud like to buy something new.
    I found HP nw8250 with 2.13 Centrino, 80 HDD 7200 and 1024 DDR, 15,4" WSXGA 1920x1200 and ATI RADEON X700 128 MB.

    The HP will be of comparable quality, although not quite as good, and the keyboard will be a dissappointment after using a ThinkPad as well.

    How about a ThinkPad Z60M? That's a possibility.

    I have a nw8240 at/for work. I like it but I can't compare it to any thinkpads as I have only used a couple older models. To give you a comparision, the nw8000 was built like a tank but wasn't as ergonomic in my opinion. The nw8000 is a lot thicker and weighs about the same. As far as performance both are top notch. The screen and GPU on the nw8000 has pretty much blown away everything I have seen, minus the gaming systems.

    Do I have any complaints or issues after having this for 3 months? The mouse nob thinggy sucks on mine but I don't use that anyway.
